The omnidirectional vision sensor for in-vehicle image processing applications

The omnidirectional vision sensor can view the environments around the vehicle. Typical type of this sensor is the fish-eye typed and the convex mirror typed. In this paper, we described approaches to recognize surrounding moving objects with the convex mirror typed omnidirectional vision sensor As a example of recognition method of the vehicle, we tried to observe the radial projection about intensity of the deferential image in time series order. Furthermore, we tried to give surrounding monitoring system as the proper application to the vehicle with the convex mirror type
